whatever happened to.......?

there was another fox in the forest of chet though... but he didnt think anything 😛 chapter "a knife in the dark"

so he didnt really care and didnt go looking to see why they were there or what they were doing.

see, it surely interested him he wouldnt forget

and it says he NEVER found out more about it

this struck me as strange....as animals can talk to each other in this world of tolkiens...surely the news would spread

weird indeed

((i know this isnt relevent but Sauron, you have been tigged in the Tid thread))

Thanks for that Exa! 😄

sauron, not really the "whole world"..the Hobbits from the Shire aren't aware of whatever happened, and I think also the people in Bree except a selected few...and that fox is just wandering around those areas, Crickhollow, Bree, Barrow-downs, Buckland, etc. so it's possible that he didn't hear about it too. And maybe the fox is dead already during that time. Got hunted or something. Maybe he went to Barrow Downs and Old Man Willow and the Barrow Wights killed him. 😖hifty:

Maybe Tolkien didn't bother to write it out anymore. Maybe he forgot about him or something. 😛 Or maybe he thought the fox wasn't so important, he was just random. Not like Huan or Carcharoth or something that you really have to make track of their final fate. 😛

to tolkien EVERYTHING in his books was important and he forgot none of them!

and as for the fox dying no...poor cute foxes cant die!

no, the fox was on the ship to the grey havens so he could live forever 🙂

sauron, not really. Whatever happened to the Barrow Wights? How about Tom and Goldberry? There are many other more. I know Tom is an enigma but what happened to the other creatures that he didn't bother to give a final fate. I'm not saying that those are not important, of course they are, but the fox is just not "that" important to have a final fate. It was just a random character, a random scene that didn't need to come back just so we could know what he thought about what happened to the Hobbits.

😄

I think the fox survived... as nobody would have a reason to kill him... maybe he came to see sam's wedding with rosie... and one day he died peacefully 😛 and his last thought was that he never found out what had happened to the hobbits

pip-foot, not necessarily. Going to Valinor doesn't give any mortals immortality, they will just live in peace but they will still die eventually. 🙂

lol nice smile shadow lol it was placed well 😛

lol, ok, the fox was just there for humorous reasons, it has nothing to do with the plot. just leave the fox alone plz.

no i want to know what happened to the fox! so i wont leave him alone please

i can't even remember the fox lol....spose i have only read it once 😛

well, immortal or not, he would have died peacefully and happily. 🙂 I dont really remember him either, and i ahve read it 3 times 🙂
